CHARLES J. EDMONDS,.OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS BURNER FOR GAS OR VAPOR STOVES..

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 434,258, dated August 12, 1890.

Application filed J anuery 3, 1890. Serial No. 335,814:- (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, CHARLES J. EDMONDS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and use-- ful Improvements in Burners for Gas or Vapor Stoves, of which I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

My invention consists in the novel construction of burner, hereinafter described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and particularly defined in the claim at the endof this specification.

Figure 1 is a view in perspective of a gasstove embodying the invention, the door and bottom of the baking-oven being broken away to better show the position of the burner. Fig. 2 is a view of the stove in transverse section just below the bottom of the bakingoven. Fig. 3 is a detail view of the burner proper in longitudinal section.

A designates the main body of the stove, which may be of any usual or suitable type, and B denotes the baking-oven and C the I roasting-oven.

D denotes the supply-pipe for gas or oil, this pipe being provided with a suitable cock d, and entering through one of the side walls of the stove beneath the baking-oven, and immediately above the roasting-oven, as well understood in the art.

E designates the burner, which is of the construction hereinafter specified.

Instead of connecting the burner E rigidly with the supply-pipe D, I connect the short pipe (2, that leads from this burner, with the supply-pipe D by means of a swivel-joint F of any usual or. suitable construction, so that when it is desired to light the gas or oil, or to regulate the flame, it is only necessary to swing the burner E to the front of the stove, where it can be readily seen by the user.

In order to enable the burner E to be moved to the front of the stove, I prefer to employ .an arm G, that extends to the front of the stove, and by preference this arm G is attached pivot-ally to the burner and to a swing ing plate or door H, that closes the space in the front immediately opposite the burner.

My novel construction of burner consists of a plate 2, having hollow annular corrugations or ribs 3 and 4, that are connected by hollow radial corrugations or ribs 5, and by preference from the outer annular corruga tion or rib 4 extend the hollow ribs 6. The radial ribs or corrugations 5 serve to connect the annular ribs or corrugations 3 and 4, and the hollow ribs 6 communicate with the outer annular rib 5. These several ribs or corrugations are provided with perforations 8,

through which the gas or vapor will pass.

The plate 2 is backed by a bottom plate 9, having cast in one piece therewith the depending-chamber 10, with which will connect the inner end of the pipe e, and the plate 9 is firmly united to the plate 2 by means of suitable screw-bolts 11,'or these parts may be riveted together, as desired. From this construction it will be seen that the gas delivered into the chamber 10 will pass through the hollow ribs or corrugations of the. plate 2 through the perforations 8. In order to insure that the gas passing from all of the perforations 8 shall be with certainty lighted, I

provide the outer ribs 7 with the transverse slits 12, through which the gas will be forced laterally, so that when one of the jets issuing through a slit is lighted it will with certainty communicate its flame to the adjacent jets, and thus insure the lighting of all the jets around the burner.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A burner for gas or oil stoves, comprising a bottom plate and a plate 2, having perforated hollow radial ribs or corrugations pro-,

vided adjacent to their outer ends with transverse slits 12, substantially as. and for the purpose described.
